Kimberly Fowlers Yoga + Weights Let's Get Ripped Review

Kimberly works out alone in a nice brick studio but the camera flashes to a live class from time to time. You will only need light hand weights for this workout and the dvd is done in voice over. Kimberly provides lots of intensity/ modification options. This workout is basically a vinyassa routine that adds in static lower body holds & light weight upper body work. Typically Kimberly has you perform 5 reps of each exercise on each side.

I really like adding light weights to yoga routines & this one fits that bill. Doing this in voice over makes it a bit dry and therefore not super exciting. It does move fairly slowly as it is still a yoga workout. This is the perfect workout for the yogi that wants to incorporate strength work into their routine. Effective & well flowing and Kimberly provides great cuing & form pointers. I received this dvd to review.

This Weekend:haha heres an awesome pic of me with a lampshade on my head. Apparently this does really happen and its not just on TV. Actually the shade was on a post that actually looked like a lamp, but then I realized it was just a lamp shade on a post and was amused. How that amusement led to it being on my head- I can not say for sure. But here you have it "Lamp Shade Fail"

Today's Tip: AVOID Milk Produced with Artificial Hormones

Milk producers treat their dairy cattle with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH or rBST) to boost milk production. But rBGH also increases udder infections and even pus in the milk. It also leads to higher levels of a hormones in milk. In people, high levels of IGF-1 may contribute to breast, prostate, and colon cancers. “When the government approved rBGH, it was thought that IGF-1 from milk would be broken down in the human digestive tract,”.But, the casein in milk protects most of it, “There’s not 100% proof that this is increasing cancer in humans,” admits North. “However, it’s banned in most industrialized countries.” The solution: Check labels for rBGH-free, rBST-free, produced without artificial hormones, or organicmilk. These phrases indicate rBGH-free products. Read more on EcoKaren.
